About Us

Carmel International Publishing House

Carmel International Publishing House (CIPH), incepted as a minor undertaking to make available books on Carmelite Life and Spirituality in the year 1981, has grown to an international publishing house of unparalleled renown. Along with books on a wide variety of themes on Carmelite Life, Christian Theology and Spirituality, and books based on human and social themes, Carmel International Publishing House is known for its unique publication of L’Osservatore Romano, the news bulletin of the Pope. It was a unique privilege of CIPH to collaborate with the citadel of Catholicism in the publication of this esteemed news weekly from 2002. Carmel International Publishing is one of the only three centers (others being Vatican and Maryland in the USA) and the only one in Asia from where the English weekly edition of L’Osservatore Romano is published. From 2008, we are publishing the Malayalam Version of L’Osservatore Romano, the only non-Latin script Edition of this official Bulletin of the Church, ever to be published in its 150-year-old history.
